Line #5 Recap/TheSimpsonsS30E9DaddicusFinch


1	Lisa starts reading ''Literature/ToKillAMockingbird'' and when she starts spending time with Homer she sees sees parallels with Atticus Finch and their bond becomes really strong. This causes Bart to feel neglected as Marge tries to help Homer balance with his attention towards his kids.
2
3	!!Tropes
4
5	* {{Bowdlerise}}: Channel 4's broadcast of the episode removes the scene where Grampa punches Bart in the face after the latter insults the former. In typical Channel 4 fashion, however, the set-up is retained, immediately cutting to commercials after Grampa tells Bart to "take down your dukes".
6	* TheCameo:
7	** Llewellyn Sinclair appears as the director of Springfield Elementary's disastrous SchoolPlay.
8	** When Homer and Lisa are at the science museum, [[WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}} Professor Farnsworth]] passes by them in the background.
9	* ContinuityNod: The flash-forward sequence at the end briefly uses Bart's 12-year-old design from "Barthood" and later shows Bart's two kids from "Holidays of Future Past" and "Days of Future Future."
10	* DaddysGirl: When they are on the same page Lisa is very much proud of her dad, and projecting Atticus Finch on him has her getting into fights with anyone who mocks him (namely Bart).
11	* EpicFail: Ralph Wiggum fails to recognise the colour green despite being dressed as a stalk of broccoli! By the time he does, it's too late, the SchoolPlay has already bombed.
12	* EveryoneHasStandards: Homer is often oblivious to such things, but he takes particular offense to the skimpy clothing being offered to his eight year old daughter. This helps Lisa to see Homer as a good father figure.
13	* ExtremelyProtectiveChild: Lisa becomes this to Homer to the point of giving ''Bart'' a black eye for insulting him.
14	* ExtremeOmnivore: Homer takes a bite out of Lisa's pork chop costume.
15	* GreenEyedEpiphany: A platonic variation when Bart doesn't realize he wants Homer's attention until Lisa gets it.
16	* InformedJudaism: We learn that the Chalmers are Jewish as the Superintendent's daughter Shauna has her Bat Mitzvah.
17	* MediumBlending: When Homer and Lisa watch ''Film/ToKillAMockingbird'', clips of the actual film are shown instead of animated recreations. It wasn't the [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS10E4TreehouseOfHorrorIX first time]] the show done it this way.
18	* PrefersGoingBarefoot: For most of this episode, Lisa goes barefoot, and generally dresses in a similar style to Scout Finch.
19	* SchoolPlay: The episode opens with one at Springfield Elementary though it bombs almost immediately when Ralph fails to recognise the colour of the vegetable he's dressed as!
20	* ShamingTheMob: Taking a page from a scene from the movie, when a [[TorchesAndPitchforks mob comes to the Simpson house chasing after Bart]], Homer grabs a bible and sits out front, using old country wisdom to get them to calm down.
21	* ShoutOut: Lisa, to her chagrin, is dressed as a pork chop just as Scout Finch was dressed as a ham.
22	* SubvertedCatchphrase:
23	-->'''Bart:''' I didn't do it, nobody saw me do it, [[ImmediateSelfContradiction they know I did it!]]
